Tai Chi?

Gong Shanliqun muttered to himself, having roughly grasped the essence of this boxing technique from Tang Huan's phrase "using four ounces to deflect a thousand pounds." He looked at Tang Huan with disbelief in his eyes.

"You've actually studied martial arts? Our people couldn't find that out."

This was the Northern Region delegation's biggest mistake, which is why Gongshan Liqun had such confidence when facing Tang Huan.

He only needed to deal with that magical gun to be confident of defeating Tang Huan, and as it turned out, he did just that, although he sustained some injuries.

Just as he was full of confidence and ready to finish the battle quickly, Tang Huan showed off his martial arts skills.

The shock this caused was enormous!

"Has he studied martial arts?"

Wu Lanxi suddenly turned her head to look at Li Daikui, wanting to get the answer from this loyal guard to Tang Huan.

But in reality, regardless of whether Li Daikui answered or not, everyone could see that Tang Huan did indeed possess martial arts skills; otherwise, he would not have been able to cope with Gongshan Liqun's imposing attack.

In addition, since Pang Conglong had already made a prediction beforehand, Wu Lanxi was already prepared.

Even so, Wu Lanxi still couldn't calm down.

Li Daikui glanced at the Empress and chuckled awkwardly, "The Empress does indeed know a little bit, and she sometimes demonstrates some boxing techniques for us to practice, but she rarely does it herself. I'm just speculating..."

Given Tang Huan's status in Qihuai County, he doesn't need to lift a finger; there are countless people willing to do it for him.

Moreover, Tang Huan is more accustomed to persuading people with reason.

The reason Li Daikui made this guess was because Tang Huan had personally led the men to attack his stronghold when it was besieged.

Tang Huan did not take the initiative to attack that day, but with just a dozen or so mercenaries, he directly routed the entire mountain stronghold. Countless people died or fled, and in the end, only Li Da Kui and a few people who were favored by Tang Huan were taken back to Qi Huai County.

Li Daikui smiled and said, "Besides, with your abilities, what are a little martial arts to you? As long as you put your heart into it, there is nothing in this world that can stump you."

After Tang Huan demonstrated his abilities, Wu Lanxi wasn't the only one shocked.

Almost everyone present found it hard to believe for a moment.

Unable to remain calm in her chair, Gongyang Tingbai stood up and looked towards the square.

"In this way, we must try every means to win him over. If a talented person who is both literate and skilled in martial arts can be used by the Northern Region, what harm is there in giving him everything?"

The Northern Region desperately needs someone who can lead everyone to glory.

After many years, it's not easy to find someone like Gongshan Liqun, but it's still not enough.

Unlike Gongyang's joy and excitement upon hearing the white report, the Prime Minister's faction was deathly silent.

Reading looked pale and couldn't say a word.

At that moment, his heart raced, and he felt a strange sense of relief.

"When the prime minister agreed to assassinate Tang Huan, I even thought about personally leading the men to do it, intending to see Tang Huan's tragic expression before his death. Now it seems that the decision I made back then saved my life."

No one regretted failing to assassinate Tang Huan; it was destined to be an almost impossible task.

Leaving aside the people secretly protecting Tang Huan, he himself is a master.

Given that he is a master who can rival Gongshan Liqun, it seems that it is not impossible for him to reach the level of Pang Conglong if given some time.

Cui Renshi sighed softly, thinking to himself, "It's fortunate that Tang Huan doesn't understand military strategy, otherwise he would be an extremely special figure for Daqing. He is skilled in both literature and martial arts, enjoys high prestige among the people, and is deeply valued by His Majesty. Such a person is too terrifying!"

The prime minister also realized that it was now impossible for him to hinder Tang Huan's development.

They have missed their best opportunity.

"In that case, winning the match shouldn't be so difficult, right?"

As Cui Renshi was thinking this, his gaze fell on the square, and the scene he saw made him pause again.

Suddenly, the two were locked in fierce combat, and gasps of surprise could be heard from the crowd.

The duel between the two masters was always dazzling, and their dangerous moves kept everyone on the edge of their seats.

When Gong Shanliqun was about to strike Tang Huan several times, he could hear the worried voices of the surrounding people.

"Tai Chi, Tongbei Quan, ancient boxing... how could you possibly know so many different styles of boxing?"

After a period of fighting, Gongshan Liqun found himself unable to remain calm.

Having spent decades on the battlefield, he had developed a sufficiently stable and calm personality, but he couldn't manage that when facing Tang Huan.

Because every time I fought Tang Huan, he would calmly say something and carefully explain to me what kind of boxing technique he would use next.

One by one, names that Gongshan Liqun had never heard of were mentioned, each of which was completely different, strange and powerful.

Coupled with Tang Huan's robust physique, Gong Shanliqun realized that he couldn't do anything to Tang Huan in a short time.

He glanced down at his left hand. "Damn it!"

The most serious problem is that the injury to his left hand is getting worse. Gradually, his left forearm has started to go numb, and it seems that he will lose all sensation in no time.

The pain in his arm that had initially started to subside gradually gave Gongshan Liqun a bad feeling.

"Perhaps, as Tang Huan said, if it's not treated soon, this arm will be completely useless..."
